Today I choose life. Every morning when I wake up I can choose joy, happiness, negativity, pain... To feel the freedom that comes from being able to continue to make mistakes and choices - today I choose to feel life, not to deny my humanity but embrace it.

From Kevyn Aucoin

While traveling around the world, I've had the opportunity to work with every living beauty icon. I've learned to appreciate idiosyncrasy. The fact is, there is really no such thing as 'normal' - everybody's different, and that is the essence of their beauty.

From Kevyn Aucoin

Fear is the most debilitating emotion in the world, and it can keep you from ever truly knowing yourself and others - its adverse effects can no longer be overlooked or underestimated. Fear breeds hatred, and hatred has the power to destroy everything in its path.

From Kevyn Aucoin

Beauty has a lot to do with character.

From Kevyn Aucoin

Life is too short to spend hoping that the perfectly arched eyebrow or hottest new lip shade will mask an ugly heart.

From Kevyn Aucoin

Soon I realized that if beauty equalled forgiveness, I was never going to be forgiven.

From Kevyn Aucoin

That's why I began doing makeup in the first place: I was hoping that through helping people see the beauty in themselves, I could try and find it in me.

From Kevyn Aucoin

There are two types of people in the world: people who are passionate about things, and people who've had their passion punched, beaten, or whatever out of them.

From Kevyn Aucoin

Fights with my father were really quite brutal. I would not live his vision. I would not become who he wanted me to be. Everything I did was criticized. I would spend three months drawing something and show him, and he would look up from his paper and just look back down. I got no approval from him for anything I did that was creative.

From Kevyn Aucoin

I was absolutely lost in love and life when I did my drawings. Time stood still.
